Title: Improvements in or relating to Indicator Mechanism for Calculating Machines and the like
Inventor: POSTANS ARTHUR JAMES
Filed: 1906-12-01
Granted: 1908-01-01
Abstract: 27,393. Postans, A. J. Dec. 1. Receipts, checking and recording.-Indicators of the rotatable disk type, actuated by a rack and pinion, are set by means of a stepped detaining- segment, which is adjusted by the machine to limit the downward movement of the spring-controlled rack-rod. An arm J is positioned according to the item set upon the machine, and simultaneously through the abutment of the separate links shown it rocks the stepped segment H backwards, thereby allowing the pin F<3> upon the rack member F, F<1> to fall upon a lower notch, and to remain there when the arm is re-set. The rack-rod carries a double rack F, whereby front and back disks B', C', upon parallel spindles having pinions for engagement with the racks, are set to the same figure; the movements of the rods, the segments, and also the indicator resetting-arms L<2>, which lift the rods to the zero position and receive motion from the machine, are all controlled by springs. Engagement between the pin and the segment is ensured by placing the pivot H<1> behind the line of travel of the pin. The arrangements of indicators described in the Specification are adapted to deal with English monetary values from farthings to shillings. Tablet indicators placed one above the other upon the rack-rods may be employed.

Granted: 1908-04-11
Abstract: 5881. Waddell, M. March 11. Cellullose. - Relates to apparatus for use in the manufacture of artificial silk &c. from viscose &c. The apparatus, Figs. 2 and 3, consists of a series of tanks 1 containing a fixing - solution, and supplied therewith from troughs 2. A pair of shafts 4, 5 extend transversely across the tanks, and support and drive winding-rings 12 ; these rings may be supported either on rollers 11 mounted on the shafts or directly on the shafts themselves. The shaft 4 is driven from a fast pulley 7, and the shaft 5 is driven from the shaft 4 by a band and pulleys. The shafts are arranged at such a distance apart that the winding-rings are partly immersed in the fixing-liquid to ensure a thorough action of the liquid on the filaments. The viscose &c. is ejected from combined filtering and spinning heads 15 of the kind described in Specification No.7690, A.D.1908, and passes through the liquid and over thread-guides 38 to the winding-rings. The thread-guides are frictionally held in slotted supports 37 carried by a traverse bar 13. The bar 13 is reciprocated at constantly-changing speed by means of a cam 14 engaging an extension 13<1>. The cam is driven from the shaft 4 by means of a cone pulley 40, belt 41, cone pulley 42, shaft 43, pulley 44, belt 45, pulley 46, gear-wheels 47, 48, and shaft 49. The speed of the cam is constantly varied by means of a belt shifter 52, which is connected by means of links 53, 55 and a lever 54 to a stud 56<1> carried by a worm-wheel 56 driven by a worm 57 on the shaft 43. The winding-rings 12 are provided with flanges, as shown in Fig. 6; the supporting- rollers are also flanged and are provided with flanged elastic rims or tyres 36. The winding-rings are preferably perforated and are enamelled on one or both surfaces. The level of fixing-liquid in the tanks is kept constant by overflow pipes 17, and the overflow is led by a trough 18 to the tank 19, from whence it is pumped back to the supply reservoir. An even discharge of liquid from the troughs 2 is ensured by means of dams 3 which are slightly inclined in the direction of their length, the higher ends being nearest to the supply pipes 16 from the reservoir.

Title: Process and Apparatus for Concentrating Distillers' Wash or Slop.
Inventor: PAMPE FRANZ
Filed: 1907-12-02
Granted: 1909-01-04
Abstract: 26,581. Pampe, F. Dec. 1, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Concentrating distillers' refuse; distilling spirits; stills; multiple-effect apparatus. -Apparatus for distilling and rectifying alcohol is combined with multiple-effect apparatus for concentrating the spent wash in such a way that the vapours resulting from the concentration of the wash are utilized for heating the distilling and rectifying plant. A pressure not exceeding 1¢ atmospheres is used in the concentration in order to prevent alteration of the properties of the wash. The concentrating plant consists of vaporizers of the construction shown in Fig. 4. The wash, entering at the bottom, is deflected towards the walls, passes up the upflow tubes 3, is deflected by baffles 4, and returns to the bottom by downflow tubes 5. The upflows 3 are fitted with prolongations 6. Both the several and the total cross-sectional areas of the downflows 5 are larger than the corresponding areas of the upflows 3. The exit pipe 7 for the wash is formed with its upper end intermediate of the ends of the tubes 6, 5, and leads to an outflow regulator F provided with a float and conical valve. The vapours pass away to a vapour separator or filter E. The spent wash from the distilling- column flows through a triple-effect; the first member of which is heated by steam admitted through a membrane regulator, while the vapour generated in the last effect is utilized in the distilling-column for heating purposes. The wash then passes to another vaporizer, in which vapour is generated for use as a heating-agent for a boiler at the base of the rectifying-column. The plant is so arranged that vaporizers may be withdrawn from the system for cleaning purposes without stopping working.

Granted: 1908-06-11
Abstract: 1364. Soc. d'Exploitation des Appareils Rateau. Jan. 21, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Actuating valves and cocks.-In an installation in which a steam turbine is driven by exhaust steam from a reciprocating engine, a relief valve is applied to the intermediate receiver to permit the escape of steam when the pressure in the receiver is greater than that necessary to the load on the turbine. Such a valve is shown in Fig. 1. The double - beat valve 2 is operated by a.piston 7 which is subjected to the pressure o f the steam and the receiver in the exit side of the throttle valve on its lower and upper surfaces respectively. The valve also acts as a safety-valve when the pressure in the receiver rises suddenly. For this purpose the pivot of the lever 5 is carried by the rod of a piston 13, which is subjected to the pressure of the steam in the receiver on its lower side and is open to the air on its upper side. To provide extra live steam when the supply of exhaust steam is not sufficient for the load, a steam valve 22, Fig. 2, is operated by a piston 16 which moves under the difference of the steam pressures at the inlet and exit of 'the throttle valve. When this difference falls below a certain amount, as for example, when the valve is fully open, the piston is moved by the spring to open the valve 22 and admit a supply of fresh steam.
